Hello Lovelies!

Another TTT coming at you from the lovely ladies at The Broke and the Bookish. This week's topic is Popular Authors I Haven't (Yet!) Read!! Please try not to shame me too much.

Alyson Noel : She's written several series including The Immortals ( which has Blue Moon in it). I see people grab her books all the time, but I've never even picked one up.

Melissa de la Cruz : She's written the Blue Bloods series and has a new book Frozen which started a new series and came out a few months ago. To my complete shame I've had Blue Bloods since high school and haven't read it yet.

Kristin Cashore: I've heard so much about her, and I recently bought Graceling, but I haven't managed to read it yet.

Marissa Meyer: I've been told repeatedly to read this series, and I've owned Cinder since last summer, but I haven't read it yet.

Ally Carter: I've heard her books are pretty good, fun reads, but I've never managed to pick one up yet.


Deb Caletti: I've heard Honey Baby Sweetheart is the best, but I picked up The Nature of Jade. They all sound really good, I've just never read one before.

Melina Marchetta: I have Jellicoe Road, and my friend raves about all of her books, but I haven't read it yet.

P.C. Cast/Kristin Cast: People tell me how good these are all the time, but I'm not that interested.

Simone Elkeles: I've heard these are really good, but I've never picked one up. I'm pretty intrigued though, so I'll get my hands on one of them sooner or later.

Neal Schusterman: This series looks amazing, and I hear more and more about it constantly.

So which one do I need to get on right away?? What's your biggest shame for author missing??

More Diversity in Your Book Diet

Hello Lovelies! As usual Top Ten Tuesday is brought to you by the lovely people over at The Broke and the Bookish . Today's topic is Top Ten Books for People Who Like X, and I'm going to go with... Top Ten Books for People Who Like Diversity Thanks to the efforts of groups like We Need Diverse Books, diversity is having a resurgence in young adult and children's books. For the last couple years, I have been trying to read more books with diverse characters or by diverse authors. (Diverse in this respect includes race, sexuality, gender, and disability). I haven't endeavored to challenge myself to only read a certain type of book i.e. only those by women of color or anything that isn't by a white heterosexual male, but I try to be extra aware of the characters and ask myself if they actually are white (sometimes the text doesn't say it, sometimes people just assume it!) and if being white is necessary for the character or not.  But here are my top t...
Blarghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh. Hello lovelies. I'm feeling super overwhelmed by life since I'm doing Camp Nanowrimo and trying to move and find a place to live 2600 miles away. So that's my excuse for missing last week. But now you get two weeks in a row. So this week's theme (hosted as always by The Broke and the Bookish ) is... Top Ten Favorite Movies   (And I picked Scary Movies) I have a secret. Or I guess I had a secret. And that secret is that I love  scary movies. Like anything that plays on gross special effects or melting walls or sudden appearances--I'm totally down for it. (This has only back fired on me once--when I had a panic attack watching Saw 2--I don't wanna talk about it...) So in no particular order, movies that really impressed me with their scare factors: 1. Thir13een Ghosts -- there's this scene with a glass door that is ingrained in my brain.  2. Haunting in Conneticut -- aw man, this movie is sooo good. I actu...
Happy New Year's Eve Lovelies!! I hope you are all out having a terrific night and that you won't see this until 2014 has officially rung in.  Top Ten Tuesday is hosted by the wonderful people over at The Broke & the Bookish --check out their post or their list of other awesome blogs who have participated! 1. Eleanor & Park by Rainbow Rowell: Once I put up my year in review survey, no one will be surprised by this, but this book is definitely my favorite of the year. It is the most amazing book I've read in a long while.  2. Fangirl by Rainbow Rowell: Oh Fangirl, I just barely squeezed you in to 2013, but I managed it. Mostly because once I picked it up I didn't put it back down. I couldn't. It was sort of like reading a pseudo-AU of my life. 3. American Born Chinese by Gene Luen Yang: This was a wonderful book that showed the commonalities and differences of people of all ages across cultures. I loved it.  4. Hyperbole an...
